SAP is one of the most popular ERP systems. This system is made up of multiple modules that correlate to business processes. The modules are typically referred to by a two- etter abbreviation. They are as follows MM (materials management), SD (sales and distribution), CO (controlling - cost accounting), FI (finance), PM (plant maintenance), PS (project systems), PP (production planning), HR (human resources), and PS (project systems).
